On Monday, the Subversion project is scheduled to release version 1.0 of their version control system, under development for several years now. Subversion was intended from its inception as the CVS replacement and it comes with many important features previously found only on commercial VCS like Perforce. It was designed for better remote performance, and it is multi-platform with a GUI/CLI front-end.

You really should check GNU arch (www.gnuarch.org)
It doesn't require any such things as a database other that a file system with ling path support, it allows exchanges (commit, get, mirror, etc) over any standard file transfer protocol (sftp, ftp, http, and cp )
It also supports md5 and signatures on each patch. It has pretty powerful branches and merges capabilities.
And it was literally designed for distributed developpement. It doesn't require a central server or anything, thus you can always commit, even when away from the internet, merging your changes with the rest of the world when you get back online without losing revision control.
As was mentionned it mostly lacks a good graphical interface. Another drawback is that it requires a change in your habits, there is quite a difference in how it works compared to cvs
